| Description | Our most popular program because it offers students the most flexibility in course selection, the Honours Biology (Core) is built upon a set of fundamental courses that are shared with other Biology Honours specialisations. You will be able to choose biology courses following your own interests, or to develop an interdisciplinary approach to biology that makes it easy to obtain a minor in another subject, or prepare yourself for a professional program, such as midwifery or medicine. You can also select the level of exposure to the laboratory that you prefer. Students selecting this program should be aware that many 3rd and 4th year courses have specific course pre-requisite requirements.
